Germany: Chechen Sharia Police Terrorize Berlin

Threats of violence against "errant" women are viewed as "acts of patriotism."

"They have come to Germany because they wanted to live in Germany, but they keep trying to turn it into Chechnya with its medieval ways." — Social worker interviewed by Meduza.

"Everyone's attention is fixed on the Syrians, but the Chechens are the most dangerous group. We are not paying sufficient attention to this." — Police in Frankfurt (Oder).

A hundred Islamists are now openly enforcing Sharia law on the streets of Berlin, according to local police who are investigating a recent string of violent assaults in the German capital.

The self-appointed morality police involve Salafists from Chechnya, a predominantly Sunni Muslim region in Russia. The vigilantes are using threats of violence to discourage Chechen migrants from integrating into German society; they are also promoting the establishment of a parallel Islamic legal system in Germany. German authorities appear unable to stop them.

The Sharia patrol came to public light in May 2017, when Chechen Salafists released a video warning other Chechens in Germany that those who fail to comply with Islamic law and adat, a traditional Chechen code of behavior, will be killed. The video's existence was reported by Meduza, a Russian-language independent media organization based in Latvia. The video, which circulated through WhatsApp, an online messaging service, showed a hooded man aiming a pistol at the camera. Speaking in Chechen, he declared:

"Muslim brothers and sisters. Here, in Europe, certain Chechen women and men who look like women do unspeakable things. You know it; I know it; everybody knows it. This is why we hereby declare: For now, there are about 80 of us. More people are willing to join. Those who have lost their national identity, who flirt with men of other ethnic groups and marry them, Chechen women who have chosen the wrong path and those creatures who call themselves Chechen men — given half a chance, we will set all of them straight. Having sworn on the Koran, we go out onto the streets. This is our declaration of intent; do not say that you were not warned; do not say that you did not know. May Allah grant us peace and set our feet on the path towards justice."

According to Meduza, the declaration was read by a representative of a Berlin-based gang of about one hundred members, headed by former henchmen of Dzhokhar Dudayev, the late Chechen separatist leader. All Berliners of Chechen origin who were interviewed by Meduza said they were aware of the gang's existence.

The video surfaced after nude images of a 20-year-old Chechen woman who lives in Berlin were sent en masse from her stolen cellphone to every person on her contact list. Within an hour, the woman's uncle demanded to speak with her parents. According to Meduza, they agreed to "resolve the issue" within the family by sending the woman back to Chechnya, where she would be killed to restore the family's honor. German police intervened just hours before the woman was to board a plane bound for Russia.

After the woman was placed in protective police custody, her circumstance went from being a family issue to a communal one. According to Meduza, it is now the duty of any Chechen man, regardless of his ties to her or her family, to find and punish her. "It is none of their business, but it is an unwritten code of conduct," said the woman, who has since cut her hair and now wears colored contact lenses in an effort to hide her identity. She said that she intends to change her name and undergo plastic surgery. "If you don't change your name and your face, they will hunt you down and kill you," she said. Although the woman graduated from a German high school, she hardly ever leaves her apartment because it is too dangerous. "I don't want to be Chechen anymore," she said.

According to Meduza, at least half of the population of single Chechen girls in Germany have enough compromising information on their cellphones to be considered guilty of violating adat:

"Associating with men of other nationalities, smoking, drinking alcohol, visiting hookah lounges, discotheques or even public swimming pools can cause communal wrath. A single photograph in a public WhatsApp chat can outcast an entire family and the rest of the community would be obliged to cease all communication with them. With everyone under suspicion and everyone responsible for one another, Chechen girls say they are sometimes approached by strangers in the street who chastise them for their appearance, including for wearing bright lipstick. The theft of a cellphone and the subsequent posting of compromising material is a hard blow; the dishonored person has no one to turn to and the one who posted the victim's photos does not risk anything."

Chechens interviewed by Meduza said that expectations for behavior are more rigid and strict in among Chechen emigrants in Germany than in Chechnya itself. This situation has been described as "a competition in righteousness" between Chechens living abroad and those in Chechnya who are loyal to Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov: each party is seeking to prove that they are the better Chechens, and threats of violence against "errant" women are viewed as "acts of patriotism."

In one instance, a young Chechen woman was recorded on video while walking down a street in Berlin and conversing with a non-Chechen man. That same evening, a few dozen unknown Chechen men drove to her house in northern Berlin. The man she had been seen with was brutally beaten; almost all of his teeth were knocked out. The young woman managed to hide.

On July 4, the Berlin newspaper Tagesspiegelreported that several other women and men have been assaulted by the Sharia gang in recent weeks, and that the Berlin Criminal Police Office has now launched an investigation. A police spokesperson said that the investigation is being hampered by the fact that so far no victim has publicly dared to bring formal accusations against the gang. The victims are all, apparently, afraid of retribution.

According to Tagesspiegel, some members of the gang, which has grown to around a hundred members, are armed and many have combat experience from the Chechen wars with Russia. The gang members, who also come from Dagestan and Ingushetia, have attacked Muslims as well as non-Muslims, including Christian asylum seekers at migrant shelters in Berlin.

The gang is linked to several Salafist mosques in the German capital, including Fussilet 33, which once served as the headquarters of the so-called Berlin Caliphate. The mosque was shuttered by German authorities in February 2017, after they learned that Anis Amri, the Tunisian jihadist who carried out the suicide attack on a Berlin Christmas market, had sheltered there.

Around 60,000 Chechens live in Germany, according to official statistics, although the actual number is believed to be much higher. Nearly 40,000 Chechens have applied for asylum in Germany during just the past five years; many have crossed the border illegally from Poland.

An internal paper produced by the Federal Audit Office (Bundesrechnungshofes) revealed that "the majority of the unauthorized persons in Germany are Russian citizens of Chechen ethnicity, some of whom have been linked to the Islamic terrorist environment."

The Chechen community in Germany is primarily based in Brandenburg and Berlin, where they are firmly entrenched in a parallel society. A social worker interviewed by Meduzasaid that the main obstacle to Chechen integration is their ultra-conservative moral code, the adat:

"They have come to Germany because they wanted to live in Germany, but they keep trying to turn it into Chechnya with its medieval ways. This inability and reluctance to integrate is extremely frustrating and typical of all migrants, not just Chechens. The only difference is that most other migrants come from the 20th century, not the times of feudalism."

In an interview with Radio Berlin-Brandenburg, Maciej Falkowski, a Polish political scientist specializing in the Caucuses, said that many younger members of the Chechen diaspora are embracing radical Islam:

"The Chechen people are a very self-contained, homogenous nation. They resolve all problems among themselves. You will hardly find a Chechen, for example, who will seek remedy from a German court. Religion, of course, also plays an important role in the younger generation. Moreover, the Chechens have not had their own country for hundreds of years and therefore are not acquainted with the legal state (Rechtsstaat) in our sense of the concept.

"We are increasingly seeing a generational conflict among the Chechens. The elderly are rather skeptical of Salafism and radical Islam, while the younger ones are embracing it. They believe Salafism offers answers with regard to their identity. Here they find community and charismatic leaders. Salafism is now their dominant current."

Heiko Homburg, an official at Ministry of the Interior of Brandenburg, the German federal state that encircles Berlin, said that most of the known Islamic extremists there are from Chechnya:

"Our problem in Brandenburg is that the Caucasian Emirate [a militant jihadist organization active in southwestern Russia], to which many Chechens feel committed, has submitted to the Islamic State. So, whether we want it or not, we have de facto Islamic State structures here in Brandenburg."

German security officials estimate that 1,500 to 2,000 Chechens are currently fighting in Iraq and Syria. As the Islamic State nears its end, it is feared that many of those fighters will travel to Europe, through Ukraine and Poland with the help of pan-European, Chechen clan relations.

In Frankfurt (Oder), a German city on the border with Poland, police are warning that Chechen migration is a ticking time bomb:

"We have a serious and ever-growing problem with radical Chechens who are constantly traveling back and forth across the German-Polish border. Their families are building Europe-wide structures which they are using to finance the Islamic State with the proceeds of organized crime. Everyone's attention is fixed on the Syrians, but the Chechens are the most dangerous group. We are not paying sufficient attention to this."

I do believe that most Americans have no idea about the things reported in this article, and should they be confronted with facts, they simply would not believe them. What astounds me is that Europeans, who are much closer to these circumstances, are somehow blind to what is happening and oblivious to the implications for their own futures.

It is common knowlege that Chechen fighters in the ranks of ISIS are the most brutal slaughterers of all. What is indeed less known is that their mostly young, utterly fanatic gang members, often well trained in martial arts and other fighting disciplines, are about to become a fixed force in organized crime in large continental European cities. Even regular police units are hardly an even match for them unless they use fire arms. They are really draining into Western Europe unnoticed at will due to open borders (which exist despite different claims by the German Minister of Interior).

There is a lot more on the way for the population than just threats of armed terrorism. With virtually no inhibition threshold they not only brutally repress their own females but also extend this onto indigenous women and girls in the streets. What is ahead of the Berlin people could be viewed in a Vienna case already where a Chechen gang started beating up an Austrian girl for 'improper' dress code. When her dad intervened to protect her they severely injured him.

The majority of representatives, despite different repetitive statements in public, simply show no political incentive to provide protection for the established, law abiding citizens as soon as it goes at the expense of their newly arrived favoured clientele whatsoever. As long as this goes on unabatedly you can just watch the disaster unfolding.

Oh this is so painful and horrible to read. Berlin! Berlin, the once free hippie artsy city with problems like this? I feel immense sorrow for all the aflicted Chechen women who have to grow up in a society like this. I wish all these Muslim idiots discarded their medieval religion and gave freedom to their women to do whatever the feck they want to do. On the other hand, this makes me very relieved that I am a Slavic woman from a European country and I can live my life the way I feel like. I just hope these backwards newcomers and Merkel's ideas won't destroy this freedom for all (as it is already happening in Western Europe with army on the streets and etc).

The Chechen girl in the article that wants to get plastic surgery to change her identity was VERY CLOSE to being dead as a victim of an "honor killing". That is where your father, your brothers, and your uncles smash your head and body in with bricks and large stones until you are dead, and they often do it to their female family members who have been victims of rape. FACT! A Muslim girl gets raped by another Muslim who she is not married to, SO her male family members like her father and brothers, and uncles then smash her to death very violently with stones and bricks aimed at the head many times to cause violent death. This act called an "honor killing" is meant to bring "honor" to the family. I respect none of these people and think that NOT ONE of them has one ounce of "honor" to be spoken of.

Merkel's madness, the fertility of Muslim women, the compassion shown by the useful infidels of the progressive left, will ensure all Europeans live under Sharia Law by 2050. If the European natives don't rise up and fight against this madness, then they too deserve what is inevitable.

well, of course it's illegal, but the authorities have allowed it, and as we can see by this article, it's too late to stop it short of a civil war. and if U think that the muslims who were imprisoned in the u.k. have been safely locked up, think again; they are recruiting new converts in prison (what thug wouldn't like a religion that blessed his criminal behavior?), and now control so many inmates in some prisons that incoming prisoners are not safe, and must either convert or pay extortion to stay alive (excuse me, i meant "jizya," not "extortion"). the u.k. is not as far gone as germany or sweden, but they're catching up fast.

Germany (and much of the rest of Europe) is committing suicide. The German government, and the propagandized German public that tolerates such a government, are nearly as much responsible for refusing to take action against these people, as are the criminals doing these things.

Why are these people in Germany? People who are not compatible with German culture and law should be excluded from coming there, and expelled if they are there (regardless of any EU edict to the contrary).

Why do the German police, courts, etc. not enforce the laws against these people and, if they can't first imprison them, deport them anyway?

Why do they not restore the death penalty for violent crime? There must be swift and sure punishment to deter any sort of crime, but people who are a danger to the public are different from ordinary thieves, etc. -- once they are caught and proven guilty, they should never have the opportunity to do it again, even in prison. Hang them in public as a warning to others of the price to be paid for particularly evil acts.

it's not that they don't have the will to stop pious muslims. put yourself in the average german's place. if U complain on social media, mark naziberg of facebook will turn U in to the government; if U're lucky, U'll just lose your job and your house. if U're unlucky, OTOH, U will serve time in prison for "hate speech" as well as your home and job. it's easier just to keep quiet, and if U have enough money, escape to a more-rational nation.

the problem is not that eurabian elites are stupid; they are not. rather, they are leftists, and the hard-core among them have realized that they will never win an election, so they are importing muslims to cause chaos so that the citizenry will accept martial law once the bloodshed becomes widespread enough. the left has been "educating" children and young adults in the u.s. since the 1970s, but in eurabia, they have controlled education since the turn of the 20th century. they don't teach critical thinking, and they cook their student's minds in a stew of leftist hate and envy. it's enough to make sure whatever government happens to be in power is essentially leftist, and that the leftist party line is pretty much accepted by hans-in-the-street without much question. it's *not* enough to get people to give up their freedom, so the left needs a crisis. the uncritical leftists running the government parrot the party line, and once martial law is declared, the hard-liners need only convince a few already-leftist-leaning fools to make it permanent (or to convince some other leftist to kill him should he not be amenable to being party to the treasonous conspiracy).

seen in this light, the apparently stupid lack of concern can be seen for what it really is: a callous disregard for human life or for the continuation of civilization. it is a raw grab for power, and it is as repulsive as the islamic "theology" they are using as proxy thugs.

They wish to bring the barbaric sadistic depraved practices of the country they have come from and force them on the people who have graciously accepted their lies. These degenerates have NO place in free societies. They deserve no respect or refuge when they refuse to adopt the ways of their host countries and disrespect the laws of the host country!

Merkel is either the most profoundly stupid woman in the world or chooses to close her eyes to an obvious reality for some unknown reason: Islamists will never assimilate into German society, and doing so is forbidden by the Koran. Germans will either convert to Islam or, given a decade or two, be driven from the German homeland, enslaved or murdered. This scenario has been repeated for centuries whenever Muslims gain entry into a region or nation. It starts slowly but through birthrate and shear force of will, they take over. Willful ignorance, of the type Angela Merkel displays, will only hasten the process!

I wouldn't bank on it. Search "Islam Dearborn, Michigan riot" on YouTube and you will see Muslims chase and throw rocks at Christians who were preaching too close to a Mosque. When the Christians appealed to the police, they were told that there were too many Muslims and they couldn't do anything about it. The police then told the Christians that if they didn't leave, they would be arrested for disturbing the police. It takes courage to pull a trigger and it hasn't been pulled yet.

Americans ARE waking up and finally our judiciary are meting out laws on the books. Now we have to go after Linda Sarsour and charge her with sedition for her speech on bringing "jihad" against our present President Trump. You can push Americans just so far before they snap back. This lawsuit was just what we need to regain our rights as Americans and let the unruly Muslim masses know their behavior is not accepted in these United States. If we also put a time limit on the welfare dole, they will either starve or go home. I prefer the latter.Look at this link on Youtube: https://youtu.be/u7qP1nVidXKThis is the video of how these people were mobbed and mistreated by Muslim "Security" and the police force which is now mostly Muslim.

MUSLIMS ATTACK CHRISTIANS IN AMERICA OVER SHARIA LAW AND CHRISTIANS WIN LAWSUIT!Just days ago a Detroit judge awarded over $100,000 in attorney's fees in the case of a Christian, George Saieg, who was assaulted by Muslims, and then falsely accused and arrested by Dearborn police officers at the Arab Festival. Now a federal judge in Michigan has decided to allow another civil-rights claim against the city of Dearborn by four other Christians, who were also assaulted and arrested at the Arab festival, to move forward. The four were arrested by Dearborn police officers while speaking about their Christian faith to Muslims. The Christians spent the night in jail and were accused of "breaching the peace." However, all four won acquittals from a jury in a criminal trial.

After the trial, a 96-page civil rights lawsuit was filed against the city, Mayor John B. O'Reilly, Muslim Chief of Police Ronald Haddad, 17 police officers and two executives from the American Arab Chamber of Commerce. The plaintiffs are Acts 17 Apologetics, Nabeel Qureshi, David Wood, Paul Rezkalla and Josh Hogg all Christians who are featured in this video.

The judge's ruling is a huge victory for ALL Christians, and it allows the civil rights claims for the most egregious constitutional violations to proceed against the city and its corrupt officials. We are committed to ensuring that our Constitution and not Shariah law, which makes it a crime to preach the Gospel to Muslims, is the supreme law in this country.

The open presence in Berlin of Chechen sharia police that force members of their community to comply with draconian sharia rules under threat of death is symptomatic of the lack of willpower Germany's leadership has displayed in addressing the broader Muslim immigration crisis. It is beyond laughable for the authorities to claim that a police force of more than twenty-thousand cannot control a mere one hundred Chechen Islamist thugs. By failing to push back against those asylum seekers attempting to establish a dual legal system, Germany is following the path of England, France, and Belgium. Soon we will be reading about Germany's "no go" zones and the growing radicalization occurring among them. Germany is at a critical crossroads in its history. Its leaders can either begin taking extreme measures to assimilate the Muslim asylum seekers into German society and deport those who refuse to assimilate or they can continue on their present course and allow the nation to eventually split into two cultures with incompatible values. Hopefully, Germany's leaders will wake up and smell the jihad before it is too late.

Thank You for this info, and as most of us here in the far west (U.S.) hear only that Poland does not accept immigrants. (Not that they do allow somehow, these to pass through their borders.) About Chechnya, however, all we hear about is how Russia is committing crimes against their country and people, not that they are themselves doing the same thing to others in foreign places.

The Boston Marathon Bombers (Tsarnaev) are Chechnyan - their mother committed theft and fled back to Chechnya ahead of prosecution - father and daughters all equally shady. The daughter of one of my boarding school friends was badly injured in the massacre - NEVER FORGET AMERICA - another reason why America must secure her borders.

I understand that many Muslim women in particular came to the West with hope of freedom and progress.

What they actually find when they get here is that in many cases it is worse for them in the West than it was in their own countries.

The fault for this lies absolutely at the feet of Western leaders who instead of demanding that people coming to their countries should abide by the laws and norms of that country, instead allowed anther set of laws to operate alongside and in increasing instances to supersede existing laws.

What is the real reason that the German government/police/military cannot stop this enforcement of sharia law? Are they outnumbered, zero witnesses or is there a shadow of something more insidious? In other words, are their hands really tied in upholding the law, and if so, who or what is really preventing action? "A hundred Islamists are now enforcing sharia law on the streets of Berlin..." The German military and police cannot subdue or arrest 100 people? Or even 500? Please let me know why the military and/or police cannot nip this before it grows to huge proprtions. I am just not understanding the logistics of the apparent lack of control. Is it apathy or is it something else? Living in America, I may never understand it.

the answer is quite simple: the left, knowing that it cannot take control of the State by winning elections, had decided that muslim thugs will cause so much chaos and death that the electorate will gladly accept martial law to put things right. of course, the martial law will never be lifted. how to handle those pesky devout muslims? that's easy; they can just do what stalin, hitler, pol pot, and mao did, which is to round them up and kill them.

except that muslims are brought up on anti-infidel violence from birth, and if U think they got excited because of some cartoons about muhammed, wait till the left starts killing them. the left is taking a *really* big chance (with our lives, not theirs, of course) so that they can seize control, and a few bodies (or a few million) either way won't stop them. these are the most successful traitors in any nation's history, and they run the u.s., too (e.g., mr. obama, ms. clinton, and ms. lynch). if U think that mr. trump's election ended their control, think again; mr. obama not only skirted the law, he also put thousands of other traitors into the government, and they are still there. good luck getting rid of them. it is likely that civil war is coming here, too.

This is what Angela Merkel and George Soros have given to the German people. In the next election the German people need to stand up and vote Angela Merkel out. The German people need to vote for Democracy and vote for AfD. There are enough people left in Germany to tell the young people what it was like under Hitler.

Angela Merkel does not know what she is doing with open borders and not vetting all these so called "Migrants and Refugees." Most of these people have come to Germany for the Economic Benefits and not for a better life. Many of these Economic Refugees are the SCUM OF THE EARTH. Good work Angela Merkel.

Germany's need for man-power does not justify taking in just anyone. Chechen newcomers will continue to pollute Germany, a nation known for its hard work and discipline. Any newcomer to Germany MUST ABIDE BY ITS LAWS AND TRADITIONS. Also, they MUST eventually contribute to its economy more than they take from it. It does not make any sense to welcome seekers who expect to line their pockets through the labor of Germans or who want to change the country to suit their ghastly regressive beliefs.

Well, another deadly group coming to life in Germany and the authorities don't know how to deal with it. It would seem easy to make these hidden parallel governments, treasonous entities such that they could be taken to deportation areas and removed from Germany...or shot as enemies of the state! No one likes that hard stance and who would? Moral relativism has taken the patriotic ideal off the table so that only "parallel governments" are allowed to "crucify" and punish immigrants for crimes written on a parallel moral police authority.

How hard it must be to be a German born citizen and attempt to try to know what to wear, what to say, and what to eat so as to be able to walk "free"??!!??? What a sad state of public affairs.

Germany sounds like a gangster run country with danger lurking around every corner. There is NO freedom in Germany!

The pols have already decided who to blame: 'Right wingers' who have the audacity to feel some patriotism for the countries their ancestors built up with their blood, sweat and tears and who actually have the audacity to want some sort of future for their children

On the one hand this is, without doubt, going too far and the German Govt. has to stop this. This violence will simply escalate and innocent people will be targetted. On the other hand, the reverse integration that will be attempted by the Germans to make these people at ease can result into losing the natives to their religion, since most native Germans have turned atheists and won't mind converting or raise their children as something foreign to their parents' religion. Of course, either way, Germany will have only problems but then they asked for it.

Oh, yes, the Chechens. Savage Islamists. The ones responsible for the Beslan massacre. And for the Boston Marathon bombing. And for other terrorist attacks. Germany is reaping what it sowed with open borders.

Germany now has two choices: (1) Totally accept the Sharia way of life or (2) Bring in the military and drive these animals out of your country. It appears you're well on your way to accepting choice # 1.

They don't like what happens in Germany, so they clearly don't belong there. In which case, they go. Immediately. Either of their own accord or with some help. No arguments.

The last sentence in the declaration reads: "May Allah grant us peace and set our feet on the path towards justice." Peace? Are you kidding me? Sure thing pal. I strongly recommend you look up the word "peace". You may wish to debate me, but I am fairly certain that "peace" does not mean arbitrarily hunting down and committing murder, i.e., taking the life of an innocent human being, because some a-hole posted her nude pic. You scumbags are such hypocrites. If you do not like the way we live in our various "free" countries, then go back to where you came from. Back to the quagmire that condones and supports the killing of gays, abuse and rape of women and children, the torture of those who have different religious beliefs and different cultural conducts and mores.

And yet despite the warnings, none of the liberal Western leaders learn a thing!

This sort of behaviour is supposed to be welcomed by people, we are expected to embrace immigrants and rejoice at the diversity in our multicultural society.

Three cheers for Angela Merkel for her humanity and the great joy she brings to her people when she opens the doors to those who totally oppose Western lifestyle and are willing to kill in order that sharia is imposed on others even if they would far rather integrate and enjoy life as we do in the West. Germans need to remind Merkel that it is they who are on the front line where "refugees" are concerned, and it is they who suffer from vicious attacks by the "refugees" she was so eager to welcome! Ridiculous, situation that has to be addressed. If these Muslims won't abide by the laws of the land then they should be deported. They must not be allowed to dictate the terms and impose Sharia on anyone, whether they be Muslim or otherwise! Get rid of Merkel, or suffer the consequences!

When will the Germans learn that they have created enough problems in their own country by letting in hordes of immigrants? Wake up and put the people in your own country first. The Chechens do not want to integrate with the people of the host country. They want all the advantages of living in Germany. I doubt they contribute a lot financially but are increasingly becoming a burden to the German taxpayer. You abide by the laws of the country you live in. They should not be allowed to control the lives of Chechen women in this barbaric way. The only way forward is for severe penalties to be given. Show a firm hand. If necessary deport them. It doesn't matter if they riot. Send in extra police, the army if necessary. Do not allow Germany to turn into an Islamic state!

We will learn how the German people truly feel about this in the coming election - if Merkel wins then the German people do not care about their future under sharia law because that it what awaits them sooner rather than later. And then when the time comes, Merkel will finish her days in Argentina or somewhere far away and free.

Right on, we will indeed learn how the German people feel after this election. And of course, if they do re-elect her: Then the old saying will apply: "People get the government that they deserve." And I will no longer have the empathy and sympathy for them that I have now. My goodness, please Germany, wake up and get rid of Merkel.

What is wrong with Germany? If people are coming to Germany from Chechnya that is now under a Russian puppet government for asylum then it is absolutely certain they are very radical Muslims. It's not rocket science!!

I recently spoke to a European on this. He believes it is pathological and no conspiracy. He thinks it unresolved guilt from WWII in that the German and European governments want to show to the world that they are no longer nationalistic or small minded or bigoted. if this is the case, this will become their epitaph on their tombstone.

Christopher Shearwood arnie • Jul 12, 2017 at 04:00

Whilst I agree that we should not be small minded or bigoted, logic and self protection make it irrational to apply this philosophy to people who support Islam or anyone else who wishes to harm you or wipe out your culture. And allowing young German girls to be raped and old ladies murdered in no way mitigates the responsibility of Merkel or any other German for the murder of over 50 million persons during WW2. In fact, what they are doing now is quite worrying because the deliberate politically orchestrated secrecy of what the immigrants are perpetrating is reminiscent of what the Gestapo did during Hitler's time. And as Germans did then, they are simply obeying orders and go blindly along with any leadership that is in power. Is it any wonder that Putin worries about his borders and the control that Germany has over the EU.

Chechenya or other Muslim places are all alike. Of course the police can't prevail. The only way is to shoot to kill them massively which those degenerate politicians do not want to allow.

Robert Davis:Perhaps we should exchange ideas. Your suggested response is close to what was necessary and was done in the dawn of Western Civilization. I am learning some things about Draco, the first codifier of law in Athens. His law would not have allowed this kind of chaos, and he knew how to handle the evil chaotic ones.
